Selenium + zinc blood test

Laboratory chemical analysis to determine zinc and selenium concentrations from capillary blood

Zinc is a trace element and is vital (essential). As a component of enzymes, it is involved in many important processes in the body. Zinc also plays an important role as an activator of important enzymes. For example, it is involved in fat metabolism. It also has an influence on the formation of thyroid and sex hormones, supports the normal function of the immune system and is considered an important antioxidant.

An adequate supply of zinc is therefore extremely important. However, an intake via food supplements should be taken with caution, as an overdose can have negative consequences for the absorption of other nutrients. It is therefore very sensible to determine the current status.

Selenium is also a trace element and is a component of numerous enzymes. Selenium plays an important role in thyroid metabolism in particular, as well as in the formation of sperm. Selenium helps to protect cells from oxidative stress and helps to maintain normal hair and nails. The problem with an adequate supply of selenium in Europe is that the soil is low in selenium. As selenium is otherwise mainly absorbed through animal foods, a selenium supplement can also be useful for vegetarians or vegans.

Whether and how much of the two trace elements should be supplied can be found out by determining the actual value. Selenium + Zinc Blood Test does this by determining the concentration of the trace elements in capillary blood.
